A must in Polonnaruwa. Property was so pretty overlooking a rice field with lots of greenery. Pool was large and had two layers. Staff are friendly. Location was reasonably close to temples/palace. Food, especially the onion soup, was excellent. Prices are great for what you're getting. no dorm rooms but if you are looking for a break from the hostel grind I would highly recommend this place.

Amazing. Family run business. Staff were really friendly. The pool is fabulous. The room was spacious and the bathroom was very clean and had hot water which was a lovely change to a lot of hostels. Would deffo recommend. Highlight was a lovely cool juice given on arrival.
